Abstract

The public sector in Ireland consists of the civil service — those employed to serve the institutions of state, namely the president, the judiciary, the prime minister and other ministers, the attorney general and the comptroller and auditor general — local government, the regional health authorities, state-sponsored organizations — such as trading bodies like Aer Lingus and non-trading ones like the Tourist Board — the Garda Siochana (police), the defence forces and teachers in primary and secondary schools. This chapter examines the emergence of new public managers in Ireland and some of the factors affecting their roles and responsibilities.
